Well, at least Jake Tapper defined his intent honestly in this interview where he explains his role is to advocate for the devil. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin talks with CNN’s Jake Tapper about President Donald Trump’s criticism of athletes kneeling during the national anthem and the the administration’s tax cut plan:

Sent my Senators an email today (Burr and Tillis) and asked: Do you support or condemn professional sports players disrespecting our American Flag? Will post their response, if I ever get one, on this site. MAGA.

Agreed. Funny how Obama protected his people on DEFENSE when they took the Fifth to keep him protected from the law, but Trump protects his people on OFFENSE by taking the heat himself.

This is strategic for the Alabama fight as well. Trump actually has a sense of time depth on this one. Because Trump leads, it ENHANCES his backing of Strange in the primary, and adds cultural credibility to Strange. HOWEVER, if Moore wins, it benefits Moore in the long run to start the cultural food-fight NOW. So Trump basically deployed a universally winning move from the side of the board nobody was watching.

Why ask the treasury secretary about the NFL? Nonsense like that just further proves the media perpetuates the breads and circuses of the American coliseum (Sports) and uses it as a battleground to avoid the real issues.

Tapper had to give up that attack when Mnuchin stood his ground and repeated the same answer, it’s about. R-E-S-P-E-C-T
No need to say anything further, watch the left implode today for failing to understand something basic like this.

Apoplexy. I predicted it. First of all, they can’t believe someone is fighting back. So unaccustomed to this, with no reference point for it, they’ll stupidly go full throttle in outrage thinking they can overpower us with the awesomeness of their collective shrieks. It’s always worked before, so why not? After the apoplexy and realization of defeat will come blockade of story along with casual and vicious sniping. They can’t engage the issue. No self-reflection whatsoever.

I don’t think “bias” is the problem. This is more about how they see themselves — as a fourth branch of government with veto power over the other three. They don’t act like journalists not because they’re necessarily incompetent but because that’s not how they see themselves. They’re not journalists, they’re kind of free-floating power brokers operating at a higher level than the president, congress or courts.

Great point about these “journalists'” straying ridiculously from relevant issues when they interview people. It’s a game of “agenda questions”, not seeking answers. And there is more chance of getting a usable, misinterpretable, sound byte, when posing questions to the WRONG people.

This is one way to tell that we have FAKE NEWS now – not real news like we used to have, where only intelligent and relevant questions were asked. Off-topic questions, even at the beginning, used to be considered bad form – amateurish, unprofessional, disrespectful. About the only exception was emergencies, and then the expectation was still SOME kind of relevance in the answer.

Wolf, I retweeted it and “liked” it, but the stats on your Tweet don’t show that, which is always the case when I retweet Tweets from TCTH. But they do appear on my Twitter timeline , even though the numbers are wrong. Thanks for making it a Tweet!

GREAT link. Thanks duchess01. I’m hoping to use it to sway my left-leaning grandchildren, eventually. It makes me wonder why the Petition we all signed against Soros has been ignored, so far, as have all the other petitions on that site.

Strange, brh! The evil in this world appears to be increasing – how can we explain that to our children/grandchildren – there appears to be no rhyme nor reason – but, good is evil – and evil is good – while he is banned from Russia under the pain of arrest – he still appears to be actively working here without any consequence – and especially – with those who should be in jail – but, are allowed to walk free – everything they represent is anti-American – so much unnecessary unrest – for what – so they can control the rest of us – I wonder – will it ever end?

I read a statement that I agree with –> backstory to all of this is the false racist narrative started by front-man obama. They want civil war…well, guess what…all we need to do is turn of the boob tube, and not enter the stadiums.

Karma can bite NFL players. Though Mrs. Ford stated her support for her Lions, she stood tall during the anthem. Several Detroit Lions chose to simutaneously drop a knee at the same time. Bad karma? The last second winning touchdown for the Lions was overturned upon close review! The player “dropped his knee” before crossing the goal-line. Ooooops, bad.

Rather weak opening from Tapper:
“…but we’ll get to those in a section, er, second, rather, in a moment – within the section after the break that is scheduled in a few seconds. But right now, the question…even though it is outside of the topics for which you are, after all, here to provide insight into …is this, Mr. Treasury Secretary – President Trump seems to be calling for a boycott of the NFL. And, and… before you respond, I will play devils advocate ….but first, Sir, we’ll be right back after this break and at that time, within that section, I would like to pose a question to you regarding NFL social justice seeking football players going head to head with …”
Off camera: snuffle, snuffle, whine, kerchief to nose, dab eyes, talking to self: “I will try to retrieve a section that had been scheduled for questions to actually do something but…Trump, Trump … …rabbit hole….where are my papers …Trump…..”
And this is only at the two minute mark!
